Solution

The correct option is D Q S R P
QSRP follows the logical sequence here. S1 is followed by Q as Q states what happens to the cigarettes mentioned in S1. S describes the action of smoking and the consequent coughing. Thus, S logically follows Q. As R describes the next step required in the act of smoking- removing the cigarette after taking a pull at it, it must follow S. P states how even after the coughing fit 'he' continues to smoke and thus coherently concludes the paragraph. Therefore, option C is the answer.
